Since I have often told all my friends and family in America about how Danish TV has changed the names of most American shows we have in Denmark, I thought it would be fun to see if they can figure out what show each name represents.....with no help from the internet or people living in DK! :o) Jeg will wait a few days until everyone has a chance to participate og will post the correct answers before we leave for Sweden on Friday. Have fun!
Men først---En list af Amerikanske TV Shows i danske tv (med REGELMÆSSIGHED) med samme navn som i Amerika (og jeg tænker at du vil være overrasket når du se hvad shows vi har!)

#9 "Når mænd er værst" is not an American TV show, it's an English sitcom named "Men Behaving Badly".
I have a couple of challenges - I agree mostly with Robin EXCEPT a few...
#5 - Home Improvement
#8 - The Bachelor
#11 - Charmed
#13- Bold & Beautiful
#16 - Brothers & Sisters
#17 - Super Nanny
Anonymous (BTW, who are you?!) Regardless of where Men Behaving Badly got its start, we also have it in America....
Don't you hate when people send you stuff as 'anonymous'? I've had a few and they're always nasty nellies! I use statcounter, so I can usually figure out who they are.
My favorite is Sam's Bar; I forget what it is in Danish, though.
As always, I'm enjoying your blog!
